intro for an animated film festival in korea! done by a kick ass director, christopher kezelos, that i've collaborated with before to do translation edits and brainstorming sessions for ideas:

emotional residue

how clever you were
to let me think that i was the one in control
that i held the key to your cage and i had locked you up
when in reality
it was you who had let me stretch my legs
stretch my heart
how absolutely foolish of me
to believe that i had become free of you

a single look
and i am right back...
to this.

hello old friend
so we meet again

you are the price i pay to be human
to be a lover
to be a warrior,

of light.

isn't it amazing, what we are capable of knowing, seeing, doing, even without the conventional means of doing so? i came across this last year and this artist resonated with me so...

a followup video that was done with him:

and i truly believe that faith works in the same way. we don't need to see to believe, we already instinctively feel and know so much more deeply and truthfully with our spirit... we just have to trust ourselves more, to know that it's all real, all of it...

presence.

this brought tears to my eyes.

back in 2010, the artist marina abramovic did an installation performance exhibit called "the artist is present" at the MOMA. each person would get one minute to sit across from her while she would just be fully present with that person, often bringing them to tears.

"marina abromovic and ulay started an intense love story in the 70s, performing art out of the van they lived in. when they felt the relationship had run its course, they decided to walk the great wall of china, each from one end, meeting for one last big hug in the middle and never seeing each other again."

when marina did her piece at the MOMA, ulay arrived without her knowing and this is what happened:

my god, life is so beautiful.

if you squeeze/beat/pummel/etc an orange, you get:

voila! orange juice!

what happens when you come under pressure? what comes out of your insides? how do you handle yourself and what does it say about you?

it's easy to be nice, smiling and beautiful when all is well. but when it's game on, that's when true character comes out...

as for me, i need to learn to be more patient :p

did you know that this - sand -

underneath a microscope looks like this?

amazing, isn't it?

i was walking down park avenue today when i suddenly teared up at the thought of someone that i miss very much from time to time. when i think of him in the general sense, i totally appreciate his overall beauty and the wonder he brought to my life.

he crossed my mind today, just for a moment. but some reason, i didn't just think of him this time, i felt him. specifically. and that's what made my heart ache. i could see the outline of his skinny face, his crinkly blue eyes and i remembered what it felt like to walk next to his tall, lanky amble.

details. they've been on my mind. i've been learning more and more that it's the details that give us something to latch onto. the tiny little crooks and curves and hollows are the building blocks of our lives, our works, our loves. some of us get mired down and lost in the minutiae, while others never learn to focus beyond the big hazy outlines. obviously the trick is to learn the balance, but i've always tended to process the whole before the parts.

but over the past few years,  i've started realizing the magic intricacy of specifics, more and more. today's memory reinforced this lesson for me in an ever more concrete way.

i'm working on building something, and i'm excited about the individual specks of sand. but i also can't wait to pile together a whole beach for everyone to play on.

s, i know you're always there with me in spirit and i'm forever grateful for your angel wings and guidance.

working, hustling...
